Ever made a plan — and then totally ignored it?

You’re not alone. In the latest episode of Staying On Top With Sophie, we’re digging into something so many of us struggle with: why it’s so hard to follow through, even when you want to.

If you’ve ever thought:

“I must just be lazy...” “I need more willpower...” “I just can’t stay consistent…”

Take a deep breath. That’s not what’s really going on, and in this episode, I’ll tell you what is.

✨ We’ll bust through 3 of the biggest myths about why you’re not sticking to your plans ✨ I’ll share a more self-compassionate (and actually effective) way to approach consistency ✨ And you’ll walk away with practical, realistic tools to help you actually follow through - no guilt, no perfection required

This one’s about self-trust, energy, and giving yourself permission to do things your way, so you can finally get out of the stop-start cycle and make steady progress on what matters most to you.

What I cover in this episode:

  • Why you’re not lazy - and what’s really stopping your follow-through

  • How perfectionism tricks you into doing nothing

  • Why willpower is overrated (and what to rely on instead)

  • My favourite reframe to stop guilt in its tracks

  • The 4 practical shifts that help my clients follow through without burning out
